Proverbs 24:17-22

Don't be glad when your enemies meet disaster, and don't rejoice when they stumble. The LORD will know if you are gloating, and he will not like it; and then he might not punish them. Don't let evil people worry you; don't be envious of them. A wicked person has no future — nothing to look forward to. Have reverence for the LORD, my child, and honour the king. Have nothing to do with people who rebel against them; such people could be ruined in a moment. Do you realize the disaster that God or the king can cause?
